The metal substrate 12 includes a first surface 122 and a second surface 124 opposite the first surface 122. The first surface 122 is formed with a plurality of recesses 125 and protrusions 126 formed between the recesses 125. The surface of the recess 125 is lower than the surface of the protrusion 126.

The combination of the protrusions 126 can form a pattern. Preferably, the concave portion 125 is formed in a staggered manner with the convex portion 126.

請一併參閱圖3,所述第一陶瓷塗層14覆蓋所述第一圖案區1251,所述第二陶瓷塗層16覆蓋所述第二圖案區1253。第一陶瓷塗層14與第二陶瓷塗層16具有不同的顏色,由此於金屬基體12表面形成所需的圖案。該第一陶瓷塗層14、第二陶瓷塗層16與所述凸部126共同構成電子裝置外殼10的外表面。較佳地,該第一陶瓷塗層14、第二陶瓷塗層16與所述凸部126齊平。該第一陶瓷塗層14及第二陶瓷塗層16分別由三氧化二鋁(Al2O3)、四氧化三鐵(Fe3O4)、氧化鈦(TiO2)等氧化物陶瓷材料中的一種組成,其厚度大約為0.1~0.12mm(即所述凹部125的深度),表面粗糙度為0.1~0.3μm。因上述陶瓷材料自身具有顏色,可以根據顏色的需要分別選擇第一陶瓷塗層14與第二陶瓷塗層16的陶瓷材料,比如,用三氧化二鋁製得的陶瓷塗層為白色,用四氧化三鐵製得的陶瓷塗層為黑色,而用氧化鈦製得的陶瓷塗層則為深藍色。Referring to FIG. 3 together, the first ceramic coating 14 covers the first pattern region 1251, and the second ceramic coating layer 16 covers the second pattern region 1253.

A composition having a thickness of about 0.1 to 0.12 mm (i.e., a depth of the concave portion 125) and a surface roughness of 0.1 to 0.3 μm. Since the ceramic material itself has a color, the ceramic material of the first ceramic coating layer 14 and the second ceramic coating layer 16 can be respectively selected according to the color requirement. For example, the ceramic coating layer made of aluminum oxide is white, and four The ceramic coating made of triiron oxide is black, while the ceramic coating made of titanium oxide is dark blue.

上述電子裝置外殼10的製作方法包括以下步驟:The manufacturing method of the electronic device casing 10 includes the following steps:

首先,提供一金屬基體12,其包括該第一表面122及與該第一表面122相反的該第二表面124。First, a metal substrate 12 is provided that includes the first surface 122 and the second surface 124 opposite the first surface 122.

對第一表面122預設的局部區域進行蝕刻處理,使被蝕刻區域的表面低於未被蝕刻區域表面形成凹部125,未被蝕刻區域形成凸部126。該蝕刻處理可以採用化學蝕刻或鐳射蝕刻等方法,本實施例採用化學蝕刻方法,具體可為:首先用油墨對金屬基體12進行遮蔽處理,使不需要蝕刻的表面被遮蔽,而第一表面122需要蝕刻的區域曝露出來;然後將金屬基體12浸置於化學蝕刻液中進行蝕刻處理,使第一表面122被蝕刻區域(即凹部125)低於未被蝕刻區域(即凸部126),然後去除油墨。所述蝕刻深度大約為0.1~0.12mm。The partial region preset by the first surface 122 is etched such that the surface of the etched region is lower than the surface of the unetched region to form the recess 125, and the portion not etched to form the protrusion 126. The etching process may be performed by a chemical etching method or a laser etching method. In this embodiment, a chemical etching method is used. Specifically, the metal substrate 12 is first shielded by ink so that the surface not requiring etching is shielded, and the first surface 122 is shielded. The area to be etched is exposed; then the metal substrate 12 is immersed in a chemical etching solution for etching treatment, so that the first surface 122 is etched (ie, the recess 125) is lower than the unetched area (ie, the convex portion 126), and then Remove the ink. The etching depth is approximately 0.1 to 0.12 mm.

對整個第一表面122進行噴砂處理,第一表面122獲得較大的表面粗糙度。噴砂處理後,第一表面122的粗糙度(Ra)為1.3~2.0μm。噴砂處理增大了金屬基體12的表面粗糙度,可提高後續熱噴塗形成的第一陶瓷塗層14及第二陶瓷塗層16與金屬基體12的結合力。The entire first surface 122 is sandblasted, and the first surface 122 achieves a large surface roughness. After the blasting treatment, the roughness (Ra) of the first surface 122 is 1.3 to 2.0 μm. The blasting treatment increases the surface roughness of the metal substrate 12, and the bonding force between the first ceramic coating layer 14 and the second ceramic coating layer 16 formed by the subsequent thermal spraying and the metal substrate 12 can be improved.

請參閱圖4,使用一遮蔽治具20對第一表面122進行遮蔽,該遮蔽治具20上形成有若干通孔22,所述通孔22組合形成一預設的鏤空的圖案24,該鏤空的圖案24與所述凹部125的局部區域相對應,使所述凹部125的局部區域露出於該遮蔽治具20,得到該第一圖案區1251。第一表面122的其他區域被遮蔽治具20所遮蔽。Referring to FIG. 4, the first surface 122 is shielded by using a shielding fixture 20. The shielding fixture 20 is formed with a plurality of through holes 22, and the through holes 22 are combined to form a predetermined hollow pattern 24, which is hollowed out. The pattern 24 corresponds to a partial area of the recess 125, and a partial area of the recess 125 is exposed to the shielding jig 20 to obtain the first pattern area 1251. Other areas of the first surface 122 are obscured by the shadowing fixture 20.

對經遮蔽治具20遮蔽的第一表面122進行第一次熱噴塗處理,以在所述鏤空的圖案24對應的第一圖案區1251形成該第一陶瓷塗層14,該步驟最好在噴砂處理完成後4小時內進行。該第一次熱噴塗處理可採用以氧-乙炔為燃氣、空氣為送料氣的火焰噴塗法。噴塗材料可選自三氧化二鋁、四氧化三鐵、氧化鈦等氧化物陶瓷材料中的一種。第一陶瓷塗層14的厚度大約為0.12~0.14mm,大於所述蝕刻深度,便於後續的打磨拋光處理。本實施例第一次熱噴塗處理的噴塗材料為四氧化三鐵。The first surface 122 shielded by the masking fixture 20 is subjected to a first thermal spraying process to form the first ceramic coating layer 14 in the first pattern region 1251 corresponding to the hollowed pattern 24, preferably in a sandblasting process. The treatment is carried out within 4 hours after the completion of the treatment. The first thermal spraying treatment may be a flame spraying method using oxy-acetylene as a gas and air as a feed gas. The spray material may be selected from one of oxide ceramic materials such as aluminum oxide, triiron tetroxide, and titanium oxide. The first ceramic coating 14 has a thickness of about 0.12 to 0.14 mm, which is greater than the etching depth, and is convenient for subsequent polishing and polishing. The spray material of the first thermal spray treatment of this embodiment is triiron tetroxide.

去掉所述遮蔽治具20,對金屬基體12進行第二次熱噴塗處理,以在該金屬基體12上形成一第二陶瓷塗層16。該第二陶瓷塗層16覆蓋所述凹部125除第一圖案區1251之外的區域(即第二圖案區1253)、第一陶瓷塗層14及所述凸部126。該第二次熱噴塗處理可採用以氧-乙炔為燃氣、空氣為送料氣的火焰噴塗法。第二次熱噴塗處理的噴塗材料可選自三氧化二鋁、四氧化三鐵、氧化鈦等氧化物陶瓷材料中的一種,且第二次熱噴塗處理所用噴塗材料不同於第一熱噴塗處理所用噴塗材料,以使第一陶瓷塗層14與第二陶瓷塗層16具有不同的顏色。該第二陶瓷塗層16的厚度大約為0.12~0.14mm。本實施例第二次熱噴塗處理的噴塗材料為氧化鈦。The masking fixture 20 is removed and a second thermal spray treatment is applied to the metal substrate 12 to form a second ceramic coating 16 on the metal substrate 12. The second ceramic coating 16 covers a region of the recess 125 other than the first pattern region 1251 (ie, the second pattern region 1253), the first ceramic coating layer 14, and the protrusion portion 126. The second thermal spraying treatment may be a flame spraying method using oxy-acetylene as a gas and air as a feed gas. The spray material of the second thermal spray treatment may be selected from one of oxide ceramic materials such as aluminum oxide, triiron tetroxide, and titanium oxide, and the spray material used in the second thermal spray treatment is different from the first thermal spray treatment. The spray material is used such that the first ceramic coating 14 and the second ceramic coating 16 have different colors. The thickness of the second ceramic coating 16 is approximately 0.12 to 0.14 mm. The spray material of the second thermal spray treatment of this embodiment is titanium oxide.

之後,對經第二次熱噴塗處理後的金屬基體12進行打磨拋光,直至表面光亮,且使第一陶瓷塗層14及凸部126露出於第二陶瓷塗層16,由此使該電子裝置外殼10表面由金屬和陶瓷兩種不同的材料構成,同時,所述第一陶瓷塗層14與第二陶瓷塗層16具有不同的顏色,使第一陶瓷塗層14、第二陶瓷塗層16及金屬的凸部126共同在金屬基體12上形成華麗的圖紋疊加效果。經打磨拋光後,第一陶瓷塗層14與第二陶瓷塗層16厚度大約為0.1~0.12mm,表面粗糙度為0.1~0.3μm。Thereafter, the metal substrate 12 after the second thermal spraying treatment is polished and polished until the surface is bright, and the first ceramic coating layer 14 and the convex portion 126 are exposed to the second ceramic coating layer 16, thereby making the electronic device The surface of the outer casing 10 is composed of two different materials of metal and ceramic, and at the same time, the first ceramic coating 14 and the second ceramic coating 16 have different colors, so that the first ceramic coating 14 and the second ceramic coating 16 are The metal protrusions 126 together form a gorgeous pattern superposition effect on the metal substrate 12. After being polished and polished, the first ceramic coating layer 14 and the second ceramic coating layer 16 have a thickness of about 0.1 to 0.12 mm and a surface roughness of 0.1 to 0.3 μm.

上述實施例的電子裝置外殼於其金屬基體12的表面形成凹部125,在凹部125的不同區域噴塗不同顏色的陶瓷塗層,所述陶瓷塗層與金屬基體12結合牢固。藉由陶瓷塗層優異的耐磨耗性,高硬度,高表面緻密性以克服傳統塑膠或金屬材質的缺陷,使該外殼具有高耐磨損、耐刮擦、可持久保持外觀亮麗的優點,同時,還可於外殼表面形成別致的圖案,具有較佳的裝飾效果。The electronic device casing of the above embodiment forms a recess 125 on the surface of the metal substrate 12, and different ceramic coatings of different colors are sprayed on different regions of the recess 125, and the ceramic coating is firmly bonded to the metal substrate 12. The ceramic coating has excellent wear resistance, high hardness and high surface compactness to overcome the defects of traditional plastic or metal materials, so that the outer casing has the advantages of high wear resistance, scratch resistance and long-lasting appearance. At the same time, a chic pattern can be formed on the surface of the outer casing, which has a better decorative effect.
